I loved salad and could eat it three meals a day but since surgery I never choose salad though i am eight months out. It is a filler that takes up space I need for Protein so it doesnt benefit me. That being said, you can eat it after your soft stage when you start on regular food. I am guessing you wont be as happy about it as it feeks like you would be now. :)

I agree with Shrinkingmom. I'm 5 months out and started eating some salad at 4 months... I get hungry SO soon after eating it. Unless I'm having 2-3 oz of meat with my salad, eating that first, and then eating SOME of the lettuce, I just don't get enough Protein that way and fill up on the lettuce too fast.

I eat salad everyday, I need the ruffage to help prevent constipation... I also just love veggies and prefer them raw...but I am over 7 months out

my Dr advised no raw food ( including salads) until 3 months...but I still couldnt eat it then without issues....and make sure you eat your meat ( or other source of protein) before the salad

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
